Serves meat, vegan options available. Offers a vegan bowl of chili which is soy, dairy, gluten, and GMO free. Second helpings are half price. Open Mon-Tue 11:00am-10:00pm, Wed-Thu 11:00am-2:30am, Fri-Sat 11:00am-3:00am.
Closed Sun.
I ordered takeout because it was after 10pm and I wanted warm comfort food. This was the right choice for that! The smallest size of their chili is a decent helping. And you can order a taco with all vegan ingredients! (Heads up, the taco is more like a taco-bell-esque burrito, it's huge [and messy, if you add chili like I did].)
Real Chili went from a late-night-only food to one of my favorite afternoon comfort meals as I got older. The vegetarian (vegan) chili is your classic 5-way Cincinnati style dish with a house-made plant protein base (if anyone knows the recipe, I'm dying to know!). Plus, second helpings are half price.
I was in town for a wedding and after some dinner time meetups with the wedding crew at places where not too much vegan stuff was available, I’d look around the city for a vegan meal. Late night vegan food is hard to find, so I appreciate that Real Chili offers a vegan chili well past midnight.
The chili must be a regional style, and it was all right. It’s served over spaghetti(!) with oyster crackers and jalapeños if you like, all toppings confirmed vegan by the cashier. It’s a good late night bowl of hot food, and a slice of local flavor, if not a champion chili.
